- YOU SAID: ***
- How does cp deal with the idea of the unknowable? Questions of existance like
- the eternal WHY? What type of people would be expected to know these things?
- Who are the priests and shamans of cp culture? Meditative states can now be
- reached with the aid of technology. How does this affect cp spirituality?
- Is there a spiritual side of cp at all? What about codes of conduct and other
- behavoiral rules, will they be the street rules of Bladerrunner or the street
- samuri or what?
-
-
- I SAID: ***
- CP can have very much or very little to do with spirituality. If a CPUNK
- has a belief in the greater good of humanity, they might look towards CP as
- a means of sharing information/culture/motives and hence through the art
- of communication improve the understanding of others. This improves the
- general spritual state of not only the punk but those he/she has contact
- with. If they are just into fancy toys, buzzwords and image, than there
- is little (if any at all) spiritual essence to address.
-
- I guess its all up to the human in question. As it always has been.
- There is no wisdom inherent in the genre, just inherent in the individual.
